UniWatch is my favorite website, and I certainly admire/respect/envy Paul Lucas. He has the enviable task of shepherding a nation of uni devotees, many of whom argue on posts to his blog over small uniform nuaces. Paul polices these posts with wit, humor, and authority…it’s his domain, and rightfully he makes the rules.
Paul and I have differences of opinion from time to time. He is a Brooklyner devoted to the Mets, while I’m a Southerner who loves the Braves. He made a recent comment on his blog, refusing to call the Chick-fil-A Bowl by name. It is consistent with his treatment of corporate America in sports, which I agree with.
When I posted a reply stating the virtues of Chick-fil-A, it was met with typical internet replies by commenters more interested in hushing Christianity and allowing second-half beer sales (which is probably more a Georgia Dome/NCAA policy than Chick-fil-A’s!?). At first I thought I'd dump all this on him, but he gets enough grief as it is.
